| From what I've heard the Logitechs Mike linked to are great speakers, but in general the input signal quality plays a more important role than the speakers themselves. You might want to look at a $30 2.1 set and an external amplifier. A lot of laptops have headphone ports as their only line out, which are usually crappy headphone amplifiers that restrict the potential of the sound. The difference between running a set of speakers out of a pure analog line out versus a headphone amplifier. I am running an old set of Altec-Lansing AVS300's (I think 28W, $25 speakers) and they sound stunning out of a real line out or good video card but they sound like crap out of my brother's laptop's line out. |
